All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

Chapter 74 Philadelphia’s “Answer” That Year

"How about it?"

After the duel between Payton and Su Feng ended, Carl walked to Payton's side.

“Coach, are you asking about the score?

21 to 9, haven’t you seen it all? "Peyton laughed.

Carl: "..."

To be honest, Karl feels that he will be pissed to death by Kemp and Payton in the future.

Of these two people, one is good at twitching and the other is good at talking trash.

And they are all indiscriminate attacks.

“It’s quite life-threatening, quite fierce, but I don’t have much experience.

It was easier for me to cross him than to cross the road in the early morning. ” Peyton complained.

Karl sighed. It seemed that Su Feng was not the person with seven moles on the soles of his feet that he had been waiting for.

"Okay, let me think of other ways."

As the finals are coming, to be honest, Karl has no chance of beating the Bulls this time.

But if you can't win this year, it doesn't mean you can't win next year.

It doesn’t mean that you won’t have a chance the year after next.

"Coach, what are you thinking about? Didn't you hear that I was praising that kid?" Payton asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Carl: "???"

Are you sure that's what you call a compliment?

"What you just meant, weren't you telling me that we shouldn't waste time on him?" Karl asked.

"No, quite the opposite."

Payton picked up the basketball on the ground, "Coach, do you know what he said to me just after I finished playing with him?"

Carl shook his head.

"He told me that I said a total of 81 trash words to him," Payton said.

"What does this mean?" Carl asked curiously.

“Although I didn’t try my best because I had to play in the finals.

But to be honest, most people’s mentality would have collapsed long ago under my defense and being sprayed by me so much. "Peyton said looking at Karl.

You damn well know that your trash talk can make people mentally shattered!

Karl felt like there were ten thousand things he wanted to vomit.

“He is very calm, and although he is not my opponent yet, he can almost force me to where he wants me to take action every time he defends.

He's different from any defender I've ever faced in that he's very quick laterally and doesn't really have the strength of a high school kid.

He has definitely received professional strength training. His wingspan is so long that it almost touched my face several times.

Unfortunately, I am too strong. "Payton said with emotion.

Carl: "..."

"What do you think of him in other aspects?" Karl asked.

“To be honest, at first I despised him because he was of yellow race, but after playing against him, my opinion changed.

Because coaches, it is impossible to fake the strength of something like basketball.

Although his agility is average, his shooting fundamentals are really good.

And the few goals he scored against me were very similar to Michael's. His post-up skills were much more proficient than those of average outside players of the same age group.

I feel that as long as I give him to me, for at most three seasons, I will make him a qualified defensive specialist. " Payton said.

This time, after listening to Payton's words, Karl fell into deep thought.

Because Karl knows that in the eyes of a defensive guru like Payton, there are not many players who can be called defensive experts.

"The Knicks have several first-round picks this year, and I will try to find a way to bring him to Seattle." For a long time, George Karl said.

"It's just that I heard that Sacramento is also very interested in him." Payton said.

"Don't worry, Sacramento won't choose him." George Karl smiled.

"Oh?" Looking at Karl's old fox-like smile, Payton wanted to eat melon at this moment.

"I have a friend who works as a scout for the Kings and he just came back from Europe and they were blown away by Peja's performance."

In this age without social networks, what is most important?

That is of course intelligence.

Unfortunately, George Karl's connections are almost all over the league.

The Sonics don't have a first-round pick this season, so Carr's friend doesn't think Carr is their competition at all.

"The Kings need an outside scoring core to reverse their record, and our goal is the championship." George Karl patted Payton on the shoulder and said.

"I understand, coach, what you are saying is that a garbage team like the Kings is not worthy of choosing Su." Payton complained.

Carl: "..."

Okay, Culver.

Looking back on May, Su Feng, in addition to flying back and forth for trial training, faced the most challenges every day...

They are those flight attendants who always have "bad intentions" towards them.

In Su Feng's previous life, there was a reason why many domestic athletes ended up marrying flight attendants, but...

To be honest, Su Feng was more concerned about which team he would be selected than the flight attendants.

In early June, after each team's trial training ended one after another, Su Feng only had the 76ers' trial training left to participate in.

However, in Su Feng's view, there is no difference now whether he participates in the 76ers' trial training or not.

Because things in Philadelphia changed not long ago.

In May, when Su Feng was training everywhere...

Sixers owner Harold Katz, who had had enough of being a philanthropist, sold the team to Concas, a company that specializes in television entertainment.

As the saying goes, once an emperor is like a courtier, John Lucas, who previously served as head coach and general manager, was dismissed immediately.

His assistant as head coach will be John Davis.

The dark clouds that have long hung over Philadelphia are slowly lifting.

Because their new general manager, Brad Greenberg, hit the jackpot.

Just like Su Feng remembered, he won the No. 1 pick in the 1996 NBA draft.

And with the replacement of the boss, everything seems to be changing for the better...

But the 76 uniform team is more cautious than ever.

Therefore, although many Philadelphia fans hope that the 76ers can keep the son of Philadelphia, Kobe Bryant, and the hero of Philadelphia, Su Feng...

But in fact, in 1996, as long as the man named Tim Duncan did not run for the election, the 76ers could only have one choice.

Judging from the lineup structure, the 76ers had already set their sights on the two positions they most urgently needed, center and point guard, before the draft began.

Among the rookies who signed up for the draft in 1996, it was recognized that the best inside player was Marcus Camby from Massachusetts.

In the world of college basketball, you can fly in the sky and escape from the earth, and you can do anything...

Second only to Duncan.

However, a comment in Camby's scouting report directly pronounced his "death sentence."

"He's good at everything, but he's too thin."

thin?

I'm sorry, the 76ers haven't recovered from the despair brought to them by Sean Bradley.

So don’t think about it, just choose a point guard!

So the question is, many people are curious, if the Philadelphia 76ers did not choose Allen Iverson in 1996, who would they choose?

The answer is: Stephon Marbury.

One has the speed of a jet and has superb offensive skills;

One is extremely talented and has superb ball control skills;

Iverson and Marbury, these were the only choices for the 76ers' uniform team in 1996.

Therefore, this is why Su Feng believes that participating in the 76ers' trial training has lost its meaning.

Of course, even if he couldn't say it, Su Feng's body was still very honest.

After all, during this trip around the United States, Su Feng almost found opportunities every time he tried out.

Even if the 76ers are just dragging it in to make up the numbers, isn't it worth the iron value?

When I think about the bitter one-on-one match between myself and Kobe, and then when I think about the mosaic-like speed of gaining iron value during this period...

Why!

Forget it, after all, Kobe is a long-term investment, so Su Feng has plenty of patience.

According to the plan, Su Feng will participate in the 76ers training camp on the 8th.

“There doesn’t seem to be much change in the teams’ draft picks.”

Looking at the 1996 draft picks that were released not long ago, Su Feng fell into deep thought.

During the previous trial training, many teams gave Su Feng verbal promises.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Su Feng felt that instead of thinking about which team he would be selected by, it would be better to think about how to improve himself in Xia Tian.

"What kind of system will [Tianzong Wizard] be like?" Su Feng thought curiously.

All right......

Although he was a human being in two lifetimes, Su Feng was not a god either.

He couldn't remember everything clearly.

In fact, the butterfly effect has already occurred...

There was a small change in the 1996 draft picks.

However, this change was so small that even Su Feng didn't notice it.

Just when Su Feng was preparing to usher in the last stop of his trial training career...

East Coast, Boston.

Kobe impressed the Celtics front office with his outstanding performance in Celtics training camp.

The only regret is that, like Su Feng in his previous life, Auerbach was absent due to physical reasons when Kobe participated in this trial.

In addition to the smoke bombs released by the LOGO man, the Celtics were completely fascinated by Antoine Walker after receiving the sixth pick in the first round.

"The Lakers are too irrational. There is no way Antoine can become a 'magician.'" A Celtics staff member laughed.

"Yes, Antoine is obviously the black Larry (Bird)!"

The Celtics were determined that they could not gamble on Kobe's talent with the No. 6 pick.

Perhaps, this is the fate of the two volutes?

Back to Philadelphia.

Um......

Um.

After all, Su Feng felt that he had suffered a lot of malice from this world.

Although he had complained before that he went to the 76ers trial training just to make up the numbers...

But he never expected that in the trial arranged by the 76ers, Marbury and Iverson would also be among the players.

If Su Feng remembers it correctly, when the 76ers fell into difficulty in choosing in the previous life, they seemed to have called Iverson and Marbury together.

But......

Su Feng is not Tiehanhan.

Isn't this just a "stepping stone" for others?

Wake up, you young guys with bad designs in Tucson, the 76ers got the No. 1 pick!

Not afraid to expose the glass hearts of those Amys who say that Iverson relied on his never-give-up spirit to play in the NBA...

A pervert who led the team to win the state football championship in high school, and also played the quarterback position that is monopolized by whites in football...

In order to trick him into playing basketball, he even forced the coach to become a bitch...

The man who said the classic "If you play in the NFL, you will only be a superstar, but if you play in the NBA, you will most likely surpass Michael Jordan"...

Are you saying he doesn't deserve the No. 1 pick?

Say he has average talent?

Although Iverson's actual height is probably between 178 cm and 179 cm, you must not feel that you can become Iverson just because he is about the same height as you.

(Of course, Su Feng’s handsomeness is very suitable for readers’ appearance)

Iverson has a sprint speed comparable to that of the top running backs in the NFL, and his vertical jump has reached 110 centimeters in various rumors.

Moreover, Iverson not only has amazing speed, jumping, and strength, but his agility is also far beyond ordinary people. Future training master Ganon Baker is famous for imitating Iverson's dribbling.

In Su Feng's previous life, many Amys said that dribbling can be achieved through hard practice.

And every time he hears this, Su Feng just wants to tell them that in the future, Clay will also say that as long as you work hard, you can also be a father in the NBA Western Conference Finals...

AI's crossover is so large and varied that it can definitely be called a beautiful landscape at the beginning of the century.

When he takes off for a dunk, you'll even have the illusion that his legs must be equipped with boosters.

A man who can ride on the opponent's seven-foot tall man to make up dunks, and can knock down his opponent under HC rules to complete a breakthrough. To put it bluntly, among the four major shooting guards, no one is normal.

No matter how many times history repeats itself, Iverson was Philadelphia's best answer in 1996.

Of course, Su Feng remembered that Marbury's "death" this time was actually a bit unfair.

Because during the trial training, Marbury's performance was equally eye-catching.

But later, when the 76ers' management was talking to Iverson and Marbury respectively, Marbury, who had not yet accepted the baptism of socialism, showed the fangs of capitalism. I think, I think, the 76ers Management was very disgusted.

And what about Iverson?

Look, this child is so sunny. This child almost has the aura of the protagonist when he smiles.

cough......

Well, anyway, since we have decided to participate in this trial training, and what if the 76ers management needs their help to test the AI ​​or Marbury's offense?

You know, Su Feng would never refuse a good thing like a duel.

The only thing that made Su Feng feel like there was a fly in the ointment was that he hadn't been beaten hard enough recently.

"Hey Sue, hero of Philadelphia, try your best today."

In the 76ers training hall, when seeing John Davis who was in a good mood, Su Feng felt that his heart ached...

"Hey, although we were also very satisfied with the results of Kobe's training before...

But let’s not mention it, Su, I am very optimistic about you today! John Davis patted Su Feng on the shoulder and said.

Su Feng: "..."

Listen!

Is this really human language?

In Su Feng's previous life, there were many rumors that the 76ers did not select Kobe because he lost to Iverson in a one-on-one.

But in fact, this matter was not mentioned in any of the biographies of Kobe Bryant and Iverson that Su Feng had read.

The reason is very simple. Kobe participated in the trial before the 76ers got the No. 1 pick. However, after the 76ers got the No. 1 pick, they were not afraid to poke the hearts of Kobe fans. The 76ers never considered Kobe again.

The situation in this life is roughly the same.

The only variable is that Su Feng has received many trial training invitations, so Bill Duffy believes that Su Feng should participate in the Philadelphia 76ers' trial training last, because this can save the most time.

Therefore, Su Feng broke into the Imperial City PK that originally belonged only to Marbury and Iverson...

Um......

Although he was just running with him, Su Feng's static data during the physical test still made the 76ers uniform staff drool a lot.

Height in shoes is 201cm, arm span is 219cm, standing reach is 267cm, weight is 91kg...

Su Feng's static talent is worthy of being outstanding even among the superhuman NBA perimeter players.

It is also worth mentioning that when measuring the height, when Su Feng saw that Iverson really measured 183 centimeters, what Su Feng was thinking at that time was: How many pairs of socks must be stuffed...

Well, back to the topic, in the next dynamic test, the 76ers' uniform staff took back the saliva they had drooled before.

Su Feng's stand-up jump was 70 centimeters, his run-up jump was 87 centimeters, his return run in the penalty area was 12.1 seconds, and his 3/4 sprint was 3.46 seconds.

To be fair, Su Feng's dynamic test was better than the future Mantis Du, whose jump was only 66 centimeters in the physical test and 84 centimeters in the run-up.

And considering that Su Feng is only 18 years old, the 76ers front office also believes that he still has potential that can be developed.

After all, a certain turtle in the future is such an example.

When he first entered the league, Westbrook's standing jump was 76 centimeters and his approach jump was 93 centimeters. These statistics are the same as Su Feng's and can only be regarded as mid-to-upper level in the NBA.

But you must know that Su Feng's static talent is far superior to that of Westbrook.

In his senior year of high school, Su Feng had performed one-handed dunks against Huashan many times.

Therefore, the real reason that made the 76ers uniform staff take their words back was not Su Feng...

It's because Iverson's physical test data made their jaws drop to the ground.

Su Feng just secretly inquired about Iverson's return running data in the penalty area, and then he was no longer interested in Iverson's physical test data.

A 10.03-second run back into the penalty area...

Don't tell me, Iverson's talent is really average...

The top four shooting guards are outrageous!

Next, in the bench press, in order to avoid further blows to his iron ambition, Su Feng did not go to watch Iverson.

In the 84kg bench press, Su Feng pushed a total of 7 times, which was at a normal level.

Because the bench press is related to arm span, Su Feng's bench press is considered to be above average by the 76ers uniform team.

This is the reason why Du Xiaoshuai's embarrassing 0-rep bench press of 84 kg in the future physical test will be the reason.

And the bench press does not equal strength, it can only be regarded as a reference.

After the physical test, Marbury and Su Feng felt sorry for each other, and both were scorned by Iverson's talent.

Although Marbury, who is not yet a political commissar, has equally excellent physical test scores, he has to compare with others and throw away goods.

However, Marbury has not given up hope of competing with Iverson for the No. 1 pick.

Because next, according to the arrangement, the 76ers will also arrange a five-on-five game.

Except for the three rookies, all other players are 76ers trainers.

Su Feng was desperate...

Because it doesn’t matter if it’s five against five, it doesn’t matter if I was dragged in to make up the numbers...

But when he heard that John Davis hoped that Iverson and Marbury would each lead a PK team, Su Feng felt that which team he would go to would be a dead end?

At this moment, Su Feng suddenly missed "Philadelphia Magic" Kobe and "Canadian Stockton" Nash.

"Forget it, just think of it as a return run practice." Su Feng comforted himself.

By the way, when they were detached, Su Feng had noticed that the 76ers uniform team was more interested in AI.

Because Pat Krause, who has the most say in the 76ers uniform team second only to Brad Greenberg, suggested that Su Feng and Iverson be placed on the same team.

Obviously, in Klaus' view, Su Feng and Iverson's team will give Iverson's team a greater chance of winning.

After all, it doesn't matter whether Su Feng is a rookie or not, his talents are still there.

Although NBA trainers are better than ordinary people, there is still a certain gap compared to NBA players.

I felt sorry for Marbury, who was also running with me for three seconds.

And just when Su Feng was warming up on the sidelines and preparing to quickly end this boring game, suddenly...

"Hey, Su, start running in a minute and I'll pass the ball to you."

Listening to someone talking to him, Su Feng turned around and looked, eh, where is the person?

Bang, bang!

Iverson, who was still wearing a crew cut at this time, patted Su Feng's butt, raised his head and smiled at Su Feng.

Su Feng: "..."

Su Feng felt that he must have heard wrong.

Just when he wanted to chat with Iverson, AI had already turned around and left.

Um......

It's not that Su Feng wants to blackmail Iverson, but as a "Human Iverson Encyclopedia", Su Feng knows very well what Iverson's playing style is at this moment.

It's not like he can't pass the ball.

He is just pursuing "freedom".

In college, Iverson's coach, the man who changed his destiny, Thompson, instilled the most philosophy into Iverson: don't care how others play...

Anyway, you want to be free, you want to be happy.

Under Thompson, Iver can soar freely every game. UUReading www.uukansuu

Therefore, if a man who has played as a football quarterback, has sent many classic passes in the NBA, and has averaged more than 7 assists per game in 7 seasons in his career, if he says that he cannot pass the ball, it is really just for blackmail. blacken.

However, if you said that he would feed Su Feng cake to someone he had never met before, and that he would feed Su Feng a cake during a trial training to determine the number one pick, then Su Feng wouldn't believe it.

However, before the game started, when Iverson once again showed a sincere and friendly smile to himself...

Su Feng believed 50%.

However......

etc!

This unscientific!

You could say that the fake Kobe was "coveting" his cooking skills, but Su Feng had never met Iverson before.

Su Feng could swear on his own conscience that today was definitely the first time the two of them had met.

Don't talk about Iverson's sharp vision. He saw through Su Feng's close-minded nature. With his eye for making friends, Su Feng would never believe that Iverson had such vision.

Could it be that this AI has also been possessed by a human soul?

impossible!

Su Feng was confused.

"It can't be because Iverson also bowed to my handsome appearance, right?" Su Feng thought to herself, dumbfounded.

After all, Su Feng didn't want Bi Lian so much.

but......

Well, apart from Iverson thinking he was handsome, Su Feng really couldn't think of any reason.

And then, as the game started, Su Feng was completely confused...
